Webinars

11 October 2016Following a brief introduction to the basics of power system operations and power
system flexibility, the webinar presents various methods and examples of pathways
for moving towards larger balancing areas and faster dispatch under different institutional
contexts.

30 June 2016The webinar will review three main areas of consideration for decision makers embarking
on a clean restructuring process: planning and procurement, market operation rules,
and network expansion and grid code. The webinar, based on the Power Partnership report features case studies of clean restructuring for Mexico, Denmark, and Germany, and
the webinar will focus on current clean restructuring efforts in Mexico by the co-authors
of the case study, Hector Beltran and Jose Maria Valenzuela.

21 April 2016This webinar introduces the considerations associated with advancing the use of wind
and solar forecasts to more efficiently integrate variable renewable energy into the
grid. Discussion topics included how wind and solar forecasting enhance power system
operations; how wind and solar forecasts are produced; approaches to structuring forecasting
programs and the collection of necessary data; and policy and other actions to support
forecasting.

1 December 2015This webinar introduces the renewable energy zone (REZ) approach, including the value
of REZ to a power system, crucial components of the REZ process, technical approach
to defining REZs using geospatial analysis, and case studies to highlight examples
and key lessons for implementing REZ in other parts of the world.

6 October 2015This webinar was presented as part launch of GreeningTheGrid.org, which is designed
to support countries in integrating renewable energy into the power system. It addresses
fundamental questions, about conducting grid integration studies, best practices for
engaging key stakeholders in them and the kinds of analysis and data that are involved
in them. It includes several case studies to highlight lessons learned.

29 July 2015This webinar reviews the challenges to integrating significant quantities of variable
renewable energy to the grid as well as the emerging solutions that policymakers,
regulators and grid operators have taken to integrate wind and solar and meet renewable
energy targets. Webinar participants learn about the myths, misperceptions, costs
and options for scaling up grid-connected renewable energy, as well as the Greening
the Grid website and technical assistance opportunities.

In this webinar, panelists discuss energy modelling using OSeMOSYS, a fully fledged
systems optimization model for long-term energy planning that is a simple, powerful,
and transparent tool for informing the development of local, national and multi-regional
energy strategies.
